[QUOTE="mj44, post: 135256"] [i]new zealand could kiss that number 1 spot goodbye sooner than expected[/i] What, like how Australia has a better cricket team than inda? Or why america is often not the best in baseball? Etc etc etc. Population doesn't necessarily decide how good a national team will be. Anyway, there are so many winter sports in the US that the rugby market will never get too large anyway, and thanks to much lower salaries will rarely draw first-rate athletes. In the end the US market might become large enough to become a competitive rugby nation, but not large enough to upset the balance between the international nations. I hope rugby does grow strongly in the US, as I hope it grows more strongly in Canada, Argentina and Japan etc. [/QUOTE]
